Isn't it time to mend your line?
For over 70 years, the majority of fly fishing lines have been made from PVC -- a chemical that requires plasticizers to make lines functional. From the minute they are made, a PVC line begins to breakdown, leaching plasticizers into the environment and contaminating you and the waters you fish. Once the line has shed enough of these, it begins to breakdown and becomes prone to cracking, even failure. If that's not enough, as it decomposes PVC is known to release Dioxins, a group of lethal bioaccumulating toxins. Consequently, it's virtually impossible to safely recycle a PVC line.
All of which is why Airflo never uses PVC.
Instead, our lines are made from Polyurethane, and inert, stable, fully recyclable material that requires no plasticizers and lasts longer than PVC.
